Hey everyone, My name is Matt and I am "the new guy."

The not so new newbie
Guess who’s back? Back again! Ok but seriously… It’s just been a lot of ups and downs over the last several years. I could blame it on the medical issues that have hospitalized me a few times, I could blame it on the physical injuries that have sidetracked me too many times to count, I can blame it on having two babies…

Time to Lose the COVID-19(lbs)
Or is it 30?!? :o Prior to COVID hitting the U.S., I was working out with a personal trainer twice a week, teaching yoga class one evening a week, and had a pretty healthy nutrition plan. I admit, in spring '20, I enjoyed taking what I thought was going to be a short break from all of that! I never thought it would…

Posting Posed Pictures on Social Media
A lot of fitness influencers will post pictures and videos showing off their amazing progress. I have nothing against this but then they will fail to show what their bodies look like in a natural light which can give some people the wrong idea of what working out can achieve. This is also not addressing how genetics play…

Hello, everyone! I've been using MFP since October to track with, and am now getting deeper into it. I especially need to get a handle on my carb intake, which is too much, as I've been told I'm pre-diabetic, and also my cholesterol is creeping up.
